When

Does your heart ever ache? When, you realise unavailing efforts make you drain. you see how helpless you are in pain. you think there is no escape but death . you realise death is not an escape. you know you have to live with it. from all the crying you struggle for breath. crying yourself to sleep doesn't help. behind the ticks of the clock; of the silent night, you hear the screams. the songs of death in the cricket's chirp make you flinch. you shudder as the goosebumps pinch. to contain overflowing emotions you struggle. a million times your heart explodes; the agony unimaginable. a zillion efforts go in vain. from the blow of realities you cannot cope. delusions hit hard with unendurable pain. fortunately, your ego dies a hundred deaths. all you long for is a ray of Hope. to stop from going on a quest you refuse. the cells within for an answer yearn. your soul urges to ask the Almighty for safe haven.
